    Starting over- Buckeyes, Swedish Flower, Speckled Sussex, Chocolate Orp,

    Hi there, first, so sorry to hear about your experience with Mycoplasma in your flock, so devastating😞. I read about your plans, and I can offer some personal experience and suggestions based on my own flock and research...but this is only my opinion and also keep in mind that my personal...

    Best rooster for a mixed flock?

    True Story! With my first flock (in a different state), I had 8 hens, 0 Roos, and four of my hens (cuckoo Marans, silkie and silver Sebright bantam) always had at least one of my nesting boxes at 'no vacancy' at any given day of the week with their little broody backsides😂...thank god for my...

    What do you call this type of coloring on an ameraucana?

    Thank you! The Americanas are really delightful little hens. Super fun personalities and great egg layers, I would recommend them to anyone as great additions to any flock!

    What do you call this type of coloring on an ameraucana?

    She is beautiful. She almost looks like an ameracauna crossed with a dark Brahma. Some breeders cross Ameracaunas with different brown egg laying breeds and call them "Americanas". I have four that are gray Ameracauna crossed w Black Copper Marans. Three of them lay a seafoam green colored egg...

    Aggressive rooster

    Yeah he's just about a year-old right now. I will say one thing that's notable about the social dynamics of my flock with Tracker's naughty behavior towards Mama...when he starts up his acting out, particularly in the morning when I'm filling up their feeders, some of my OG girls (original hens...

    Aggressive rooster

    Believe me, I hear you. My 'kid' is 21y/o though, and since she coddled him since he was 8wks old (yes, carrying him around like a baby, giving him special treats while mama was doing the heavy lifting😒)...he loves 💕 her.

    Aggressive rooster

    Just thought I'd chime in as an empathetic, relatable and self-proclaimed enabler/victim of rooster aggression. I had two different flocks of hens in two different states before I got my first rooster...and as my flock started to expand from 10 to 20, and transformed from containment to free...

    Heartbroken Roo After Bobcat Attack💔😢

    People who have never had the blessing of owning chickens cannot possibly understand the social bonds that these special creatures form between each other and with us🥰 Thank you for your kind words...that's why I love this forum💕

    Heartbroken Roo After Bobcat Attack💔😢

    My sweet Speckled Sussex, Poppy, was killed by a Bobcat last week. This was our first experience in five years of chicken keeping with predator attacks, and we did not even know about the threat of these creatures😢. Poppy and Keith Richards, our Polish Roo, have been BFF's since they were baby...

    Florida Sound-off

    Ugh...just reading this as someone looking to relocate from Baker to Lee County. Have 23 hens and 4 Roos...guess Lee isn't going to work. What do you know about Charlotte and Hendry? I mean, I'm not sure if I'm going to take my entire flock but reducing it down to 4 girls and no Roos is just not...

    Meet my Production Rooster “Sunny”

    Hi there and belated welcome! I actually found this thread googling “Production Blue Roosters” because there isn’t very much information available out there on this handsome breed of Roo🐓 I’m posting a link to my boy Trackhawk. We purchased him from a breeder at around 8 weeks and he’s about 24...

    Are my chickens stressed, angry, irritated?

    My RIR is the loudest and crankiest Karen chicken EVER (but that’s just her, and if she ever has a day that she’s not complaining, I’m going to know that something really IS terribly wrong😕). My Orpingtons on the other hand whimper like puppies for cuddles and it’s adorable 😍

    Are my chickens stressed, angry, irritated?

    Check out the roosting arrangements. Creatures of habit…my Easter Eggers, RIR and previous flock Golden Comets were EXTREMELY territorial about their “specific nesting box” and “roost bar”. True Karen chickens 😂

    Are my chickens stressed, angry, irritated?

    That is a very familiar song that I’ve come to know as “get ur fluffy butt outta that box, I don’t care how many other boxes are empty…my egg is gonna be laid in THAT ONE🐔. Period.” IYKNK

    Picture Of The Week (POW) Information & Submissions

    This is Ziggy Stardust. He’s 12 weeks old. He was originally purchased with a clutch of six other 2 week-old chicks. We bought our first pair of Polish chicks: a Golden Laced named Petunia; and a Silver Laced we named Pebbles. Petunia crowed at 7 weeks, and was re-named Keith Richards...
